Part Four: The Ideas
By Literary Hub
April 25, 2019

The idea of a single day devoted to the earth is absurd. In the 49 years
since the first Earth Day was celebrated, human civilization—checked by
neither morality nor policy—has wrecked devastation upon the planet,
increasing with each passing year of excess and inaction the likelihood
that coming generations will live in a world unrecognizable to Senator
Gaylord Nelson, who first conceived of the day as an environmental
teach-in on April 22, 1970. But if there is any hope in righting this
awful course, we need to think of every day as Earth Day.

With that in mind we have come up with the beginnings of a climate
change library, 365 books that show us where we’ve come from, where
we’re at now, how we might survive this crisis, and how we might cope if
we don’t. With contributions from the likes of Richard Powers, Rebecca
Solnit, Elizabeth Rush, Aminatta Forna, Maja Lunde, Aimee
Nezhukumatathil, Francesca Angiolillo, Stephen Sparks, Amy Brady,
Jean-Baptiste del Amo, and many more, this collection is neither
exhaustive nor fixed, and with the help of readers and writers alike, we
hope to add to it in the coming months (and years, if we can). Divided
broadly—and subjectively!—into four sections, we finish today with The
Ideas, the philosophies, psychologies, politics, and pathologies arising
from our proximity to environmental collapse. (Read part one, The
Classics, part two, The Science, and part three The Novels and Poems.)
